• What name/nickname would you like us to use for you? •
Hello everyone!
On Gaia I tend to go just by Kr-E, other platforms by Siren.


• Your Preferred Pronouns •
She/They

• Where are you from? •
I currently reside in the state of Texas, US

• Tell us about your design style •
I consider myself to be experimental. Or at least unaware of what to call my style.
I love for my avatars to tell a story, so I lean into motion in the avatar or poses that speak to the vibe I'm trying to give off.


• One fun fact about you •
I am an artist who is VERY slowly getting back into digital art, typically best at traditional.
I also like to spin fire, however, since living in TX, that has been hard as they have some really painful laws preventing me from doing it in the best part of the day, the night!

Hi there!

• What name/nickname would you like us to use for you? •

You guys can call me Faith to shorthand my username! I also go by Skain/Skainly but you guys are juggling a lot of balls so I don't expect you to remember a thing like that 4laugh

• Your Preferred Pronouns •

She/Her

• Where are you from? •

Houston, Texas! Best known for "the inability to drive well even on sunny days" and shopping. I tend to stay in the less populated venues despite that, since I grew up rural. I much prefer cows as my neighbors to gucci.

• Tell us about your design style •

Let's see...
My favorite color palette is zen! Although I think I have found a million ways to use it, my avi closet is full to bursting with the same items over and over. Oh, and I ran out of closet space the second or third month I was back, since I was changing my avi every single day. I like using the avi as a form of expression-- a little canvas for drama, for story telling. I'm not sure I can put a finger on my style... but I'm super drawn to "natural looking" scenes and use those a lot too.

• One fun fact about you •

I've recently found myself to be quite handy. We (my mom and I) bought a house last year, and since then I have installed washer and dryers, changed fixtures, set up and kept a generator going, installed a garden... and before that my track record for those sorts of things was none. It's been fun! Don't... don't ask what is left alive in the garden.

• Bonus fun fact •

Please imagine everything I've said with a country twang.

Greetings and Salutations everyone!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful time!!
Before I get into the questions, I just wanted to say; I have been a member of Gaia for 15 years!
Some personal interests of mine are digital art, video games, anime, manga, and quite a wide variety of music! Currently I have been listening to the EPIC soundtrack on repeat for several weeks now, please send help, I have a problem emotion_kirakira
Well, with that, I guess on to the questions!!

• What name/nickname would you like us to use for you? •

Well, my friends either call me "Sleepy" or "Moth" so really any of those are perfectly fine! My username can be quite a lot to have to type, but feel free to shorten it as you see fit!!

• Your Preferred Pronouns •
I am proudly Non-binary, even tho I always make very Femme Presenting avi's xD So They/Them are prefered, thank you for asking!

• Where are you from? •
Born, Raised, and stuck in a small town in Ohio cat_sweatdrop only positive thing about where I am from is how close I am to a lot of local conventions and stuff! You know how it goes with small towns, everyone knows everyone kinda thing. One day I would love to move from here, but at the same time I don't think I really every could, ya know? Everyone I love is here!
tho we did have that train derailing not far from me, so yeaaaaaaa

• Tell us about your design style •
I am very heavily influenced by Fantasy styles, but I also love Horror and CottageCore aesthetics!! I love so many of Gaias color schemes, but my heart will always belong to the Demure scheme! My username at one point, and it was actually the username I had the longest, was Demure Crystal. I also love for my avatars and styles to flow well and tell stories. Heck, most of the time while I am designing my avi, I have a story going in my head about who they are. I often use my avi's as inspiration for my digital art. If my memory was better I would love to actually write all these stories down!

• One fun fact about you •
Hmmmm, a fun fact....well, I have a prosthetic eye! I had to have 3 surgeries within a few months due to complications, but no worries!!
Sorry, that probably didn't sound very fun cat_3nodding
Uhm, well....okay, this might make you guys laugh!!
I hope xD
Sometimes, if i sneeze too hard, my eye kinda flies out!!
I am so sorry if thats a bit TMI, but hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, am I right?

• Bonus Facts! •
I have 3 cats! Their names are:
Mitty, my brown tabby baby! My husband got her and always said she was HIS kitty, but she has bonded with me so much that she is CONSTANTLY at my desk laying on or beside my arms, or curled up by my feet.
Ori, my daughters black and white tuxedo. My daughter is the only one who can scoop him up and lay on him like a pillow. If I try that, he looks at me with a face of "excuse me, who gave you the right?!"
and Pima, a pure black kitty my dad rescued from the garbage truck he works on. He is a bottle fed menace to my ankles, and his name stands for "Pain In My..." well, you can figure that out xD he has taken to my husband, but loves all 3 of us!

My daughter is my world, and my husband and I have been playing through every Souls game we both own together! We both got the ribbon on Steam for Elden Ring and have played through Dark Souls 3 together! Now he's making me replay Dark Souls remastered, and we still have to finish Dark Souls 2, but it is a wonderful time for us!
I am currently watching him suffer on Lies of P, he can't dodge or parry to save his life, and I feel bad laughing at him for it, but I can't help it!

Speaking of my daughter, she has an obsession with Hollow Knight! Believe it or not, but she got the Platinum trophy on our old PlayStation 4 when she was only 9! She still plays it on her Switch, and now on PC, and is a menace when it comes to that game. The tricks I have seen her pull off and how easy she makes it look absolutely BAFFLE me!! Heck, she tried out Bloodborne and beat both the Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne on her first attempts!

• Your Preferred Pronouns •

• Where are you from? •
I hail from the far lands of Poland!
Like, Poland in Europe, not in Ohio. Once my friend sent me a card and the post office sent it to Ohio. 8')

• Tell us about your design style •
That's a hard question. I would probably say most of my design style is based on what I like - anime, horror, fantasy. These are some of the major influences for sure, other than that I just really like cute dresses.
My favourite colours are pink, blue, teal, black and white~

• One fun fact about you •
I love animals, especially cows and birds. I currently own three parrots! My parrots are named after Slavic deities/demons, because why not?

My name is Lola! I also go by 2 Goblins In A Trenchcoat on other corners of the internet.

• Your Preferred Pronouns •
She/Her

• Where are you from? •
I currently live in Atlanta, but I'm planning on moving back to my hometown of Edmond, Oklahoma at the end of the year/beginning of 2025. I'm starting my own taekwondo school there!

• Tell us about your design style •
My style, along with literally everything else I do online/irl, is driven by self-expression. I'm emotionally-driven as it is, so I really delve deep into my feelings when I begin designing. I never really have any specific idea(s) in mind when I start, choosing instead to let the mood and look unfurl organically. I try to use color schemes that stand out, but that isn't always the case. Juxtaposition is frequently used in my designs, but that's moreso just me expressing myself through this particular medium (:
tl;dr my style flows and evolves over time, but it's always driven by my desire for self-expression.

• One fun fact about you •
I'm a 4th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, and am a full-time certified instructor! I'm a career martial artist, and I love it. My students are legit little goofballs, and they get it from me rofl

• Where are you from? •
Nice ol cheesy Wisconsin USA~

• Tell us about your design style •
I tend to focus on more casual looks and the overall "flow" of an avatar in a scene. I'm mainly focused on my OCs at this point, but still have favoritism for brighter colors - toxic remains a classic. However, I enjoy using Runway to test more out-there ideas. I hope to use this competition to expand my skillset further, and enjoy that it is playing with both of my styles - it's basically working with an "OC", but it must fit the theme!

• One fun fact about you •
Trying to get a book published before I have my first baby. We'll see which comes first. lol

I really like being diverse in my style, I care most about color balance, but it probably leans on the dark side most of the time.

What name/nickname would you like us to use for you?
You can call me Serena or Dame. I really should change my username again lol This account predates 95% of the accounts I have on the internet everywhere but here I'm Dame. Either will work.

• Your Preferred Pronouns •
She/Her/They/Them

• Where are you from? •
I'm from Illinois near Chicago but not from the city and I'm now living in Southern Illinois and I hate it here lol. Its damn hard to move from a very populated urban area to a far more rural one

• Tell us about your design style •
I'm kind of all over, but I like designs that give a good sense of character. I don't just want a nice avatar I want to convey someone. For the longest time I really didn't use gaia for anything. the last 6 years I just wasn't invested. I would only come back to gaia once in a while to use my inventory to help me envision characters usually for my D&D campaigns. So thats really what my Designs tend to reflect, a character.

• Some fun facts about me •
I use to do play by post RP's on here and met my best internet friend on here through that! we still chat on tumblr and discord.
I met my Partner through D&D
I have a 7 month old baby
When I was younger I wanted to be a fashion designer until I went to an Interview/Portfolio review for Parsons school of design and they told me that while I had a lot of clothing design art my portfolio was lacking proof that I could handle their regular art classes which are required for all first and second year students. That was all the critique I got they had nothing to say about any of my actual designs. Ruined my confidence and even though there were like 12 other art/design schools at the event with fashion programs I didn't think I could handle another bad critique. It also sucked because I had TONS of regular art that I have done that would have showed off those skills but I was planning on applying for the fashion programs so thats what I packed my portfolio with.

• What name/nickname would you like us to use for you? •
Sy would be appreciated! "Sy as in Why" is so you automatically know how to say it. <3
• Your Preferred Pronouns •
She/her is fine, but I'm not fussy. If you call me he/they, I won't mind.
• Where are you from? •
I'm from the UK and as of right now it's currently overcast with a good chance of rain. Home sweet home!
• Tell us about your design style •
I've typically used Gaia's avatar builder as a visualiser for my original characters for my stories, though I'll admit I lean towards mystical, gothic and ethereal-style aesthetics. I originally started using gaia's runway both as a personal challenge to my designing skills but also to see what I could do with the limits of my inventory. I basically have no drawing/art skills so I do my best to create art through what mediums I can, thus why I was happy to join this. <3
• One fun fact about you •
I'm a writer first and foremost! I've had Kesha's Joyride stuck in my head for days to the point where I've started associating it with the main character of a story I'm writing. Said character is from a traditional fantasy world so. Lil bit jarring to say the least lmaooo

• What name/nickname would you like us to use for you? •
Angel is fine, but very typical (so many usernames with agnel) so most people refer to me as bloodangel or BA, just not blood by itself.

• Your Preferred Pronouns •
she/her

• Where are you from? •
I'm from Southern California. Lived here all my life now, I have thought of moving somewhere else, but I'm so comfortable here I may never move out. (even with the rising inflation....maybe)

• Tell us about your design style •
My design style varies. I tend to lean towards red color schemes, but do work with a variety of few others as well. Anubis is my second all time favorite! I also love the elegant look, the cute look, or a spooky look. For the most part I go for aesthetically pleasing to the eye than story telling. I do love a good background combination! You almost will never see without a background!
When I start creating an avi I usually start with an item I bought recently or just discovered, a color scheme I want to try out, or a theme. I like to join avi contest to challenge my creating skills, now and then I join a runway theme, but I usually forget to join a runway theme I like or simply don't have time to create an avi within a day.

• One fun fact about you •
I have phases when I am obsessed with one thing and all I want to do is that and nothing else. I may be obsessed with that one thing for a month, a couple months, or over a year. How long I am obsessed varies. My current obsession is webtoons and web novels. It's been over a year now lol
The last obsession that last more than a year was my kdrama obsession!
